I must have hit one heck of a bump. Mechanic reported A-arm bushing, inner tie rod, and end links all need to be done. I have received the parts, and watched all the videos. Have done end links before. Any words of advice before I dive in? Order of dismantle and reinstall? All at once?
Thanks very much

    I would do the inner tie rod after the bushing as you will definitely need an alignment after doing the inner tie rod.

    Not sure but does A-arm bushing = control arm bushing/ball joint?

    End links can be done at any time.

      Need more testing of tie rods. I didn't see anything too awful. Closer look tomorrow. Thx
